As the UK election campaign unfolded in April, high-end estate agents were loudly complaining about the drag the whole thing was having on the very plushest corners of the London market.
New figures released from the Land Registry on Monday show the UK capital was still home to the ten areas in England and Wales with the fastest annual house price growth in April ( see chart below, courtesy of Royal Bank of Scotland).
Overall, house prices in England and Wales climbed 5.1 per cent in April from a year earlier. The average gain in London in April was 10.9 per cent.
